About Renting a Car at Dalaman International Airport

Dalaman International Airport (DLM) is the main gateway to Turkey's turquoise-colored Aegean coast, with 56 rental agencies on site. The airport is located about 10 km east of Dalaman city and 75 km west of Marmaris. Pick up your rental car upon arrival and head straight out along the coast.

From here, it's 95 km to Fethiye and its famous Ölüdeniz Beach, and 55 km to the resort town of Göcek. Road D400 runs along the coast and provides easy access to Lake Köyceğiz, just 35 km north. Book your rental car in advance during July–August when demand is extreme and prices spike significantly.

Choose a car with air conditioning – temperatures of 40°C are common in summer. Verify that your insurance covers dirt roads if you plan excursions to the Lycian Way. How long does it take to drive from Dalaman Airport to Fethiye?
